f.reatest Crowd in History of
University is"- uaiuvwu
to Pack Both
Places.
With the Orpheum theatre told
completely out and a few seats leff
at the Temple, the largest crowd that
ever attended a University Night, pro
duction is expected to pack both of
these places aturday night for the
thirteenth annual University Night.
William O. Alstadt, In charge of
tl,o ticket salo for the University
Night committee, will have? the re
maining few tickets on sale at the
Temple in the Y. M. C. A. rooms
today. It is expected that these tick
ets will last only a short time.
Interest among the student body is
almost at a white heat over the ap
preaching University Night, which la
commonly known, as Nebraska's great
e.st tra-Jition. In previous years the
students have alwaya shown a great
interest in University Night but never
before has the demand been so great
for tickets as it has this year.
The complete program will be an
nounced in a few days but it la
thought that there will be at le.vt
ten acts presented. The "Even ins
Shun" il bes on the press in a few
days and will be the headliner for
the ( .' iiing's performance. The little
paper will bo sold in the lobby of both
t!ip Orpheum and Temple theatre, en
abling people to get it attending houi
performances'.-
"The same acta will be show.i at
the Tunpie as are shown at the Or
pheum," stated Chairman Eller yes
terday. There has been some doubt
in some of the student's minds as to
whether as high class a production
wpuld be put on at the Temple as at
. the Orpheum due to the lack of tal
ent hut Chairman Ellor's statement
in regard of this matter will prob
ably convince the doubtful.
Joe Ryons has been placed in
charge of the property and will have
ull charge o staging the production
and will have an assiatsnt at he

Valentine Heroes Will Make
Appearance on Campus Today
Tonight when you see numbers of
men slinking along the walls of city
with their overcoats and mufflers
pulled up over their faces and carry
ing large boxes of nondescript shape,
and if these men try to dodge you
and act as if they have been caught
in the act o bombin an orphanage, do
not think they are Bolshiylkl hound
on a tour of destruction, Ithey are
merely lovers carrying Valontino mis
seves. Today is Valentine's day. If
there is any day in the year that is
disgusting to a man it Is this day of
loving missives, generally five pounds
of candy, and sickening maudlin and
affected sentiment. Why, we ask,
should a person feel any more in
love on a cold unromantic Wednesday
than he should in some balmy June
day? To begin with. Valentine's day
is handicapped by Its date.
Then there arc the symbols of Val
entin's clay. As a rule they are .i
couple of cooing doves and a few
grinning Cupids. Adding to this most
artistic background some veTse cf
the "roses are red, violets are blue''
typo. However, the girls today are
a little bit beyond the old-style Val
entine idea. Candy, flowers, or some
exquisite bit of handicraft from the
Oriental shops are what are required
now. It Is really a pitiful sight to
see some full-grown man fussing
around among the dainty things in a
gift shop trying to pick out a suit

able offering to the goddess of love
Valentine's day is said to have a
anclent and honorable history, but we
claim that it has outlived Its useful
ness. Having a- day set aside for thi
proclaiming of undying love is ai
insane an idea as having the Pan
Hellenic the date for hanging pins.
Both events make the thing too cut
and dried too blatent. Instead of be
ing a subtle thing, Valentine's day
makes love-making Jump up and hit
you in the face. It has the sweet
nauseating taste of candy hearts wit
verses on them.
Now there is one kind of Valen
tine we always send. It has a pus
pose, 1 is logical. That Is the comic
Valentine. This brand of Valentine
also has an old and renowned his

decay the comic Valentine Is really
a jwonderful ,irJstitu.lon. It is an

Piet Roest of Leiden, Holland, and
Hans Tiesler of Berlin, German, who
are touring the country under the aus
pices of the National Student Forum,
spoke at a special convocation Tues
day morning at the .Temple. Mr.
Roest told about the change that hi"
taken place In the youth of Holland
and the movement that has spiv.ng
up to foster free thinking among the
younger people. Mr. Tiesler told of
'Le situation In Germany and w'rai
has Lit-tn i.oue by the youth of tint
country.
Jasper Kinr;, Chicago University '."0,
who is the representative of the Ti
lional Student Forum, Introduced the
speakers and told of the reason
whiU'. had Drought them to till
country. Acc.oiding to Mr. King
many of the young people c
country have started ' to ask t:; .;.
selves why they are doing eertai:.
things and what the world and lit
rear, to them. It is to help Individ
that these foreign students have
lorn' toAineiTcti, saiii' MY.- Kh:g. ..
"During the last ten yenrs a literary
revival has come to the s"h"';l a i;
young people of Holland" announce.!
Mr. Roest, who spoke first. Up to
then, the youth of Holland had not.
realized what life meant for them
This revival implanted in them a fo.'.
ing that they lacked something ami
they started in to hunt for it. They
wanted a life of their own, a spon
tanious life tf their own k:'ui a:v
spirit. They formed little groupr, I -the
schools where they d'a. uu :r.'
their own problems without restraint.
As different groups were formed in
the various schools, they felt a nce l
for a compact organization, and iis
a result, the Young Abstainers Loagufc
was formed. The object ; of this
league was to give a foundation for
free thought of the youth of the
country. They are trying to get away
rom the customs and conventions that
limited their thinking and actions. U
is their belief that society need.;
thinking and independent people, said
Mr. Roest. There is no constitution,
for this league is just a group ot
young people simply and earnestly
searching for the realities of life
People from practical life were In
vlted to speak to them, not in order
to influence their opinions, but to
give them an understanding of the
problems that confronted people out
in life. At first, this league made
a rule that anybody who held any
political convictions could not be a
member, but this was later changed
so that just those who propagated a
political belief was excluded. Its pur
pose was to get people to think for
themselves, and not as a mass. When
a member reaches the ago of twenty
three he loses his membership. In
this way, new blood Is continually
coming in to carry on the work of
the League.
"I could tell you about the econ
omic condition of Germany, how ninety-seven
percent of the people only
get meat once a week, but I am here
to tell you about German youth," was
the way Hans Tiesler opened his re
marks. "The German youth move
ment started about thirty years ago
1 ra little town near Berlin with a
group of fifteen people. This move
ment was against the Imperialistic
system, and in fact, they were against
everything that took away the free
dom of youth," he went on. Mr. Ties

Traces History of India and De
velopment of Civilization
and Social Classes.
Dr. Joshi, exchange professor from
Baroda College, India, spoke to tlit
tmlinien of tlio College of Arts and
Sciences, Monday evening, and Tues
day morning, tracing the history of In
dia and the development of her civ
ilization and social classes.
In opening his lecture, Dr. Joshi
pointed out that as a result of the war.
the peoples of the world have tiovS.
oped a closer bond of relationship ami
have had their Interest in the customs
and history of each other stimulated
"The course of human history has
been largely determined by the rela
tionship between the two great con
tinents, Europe and Asia," declared
Dr. Joshi. "This relationship has had
three aspects, the commroial aspet,
the political aspect, anil the religion
aspect." India, Dr. Joshi explained, occupier,
an ii:ip nLmt pusltio.i o:i iha contin
ent of Asia. Geographically it lie?
between the Near East and the Mehem
mendan civilization, and the Far East
and the Buddhistic civilization of
China and Japan. Buddism, one of the
three great missionary religions, was
developed in India. From India it
spread to China and Japan, hand has
been the determining factor of the
history and culture of those countr
ies. j.: jo-.l foisted oui that two great
religious developed in India. Hinduism
and Buddhism. Of these two, Budd
htsm was the missionary religion',
training converts and spreading ovo.
a large part of Asia. It was a dyna
mic religion while Hinduism was a
static creed which did not spread be
;-o.!il the boundaries of India. Dr.
Joshi drew an analogy between Hind
:'.:.:') aril Jndasiam and Buddhism
anefchristianity in the maner in which
the religions sperad.
T!-.o development of Indian civili-.:::s;.-.;i
was then traced by Dr. Joshi.
I- , xii'.i'.iu-.1 th it the Indo-Aryan?
were the builders of the Indian cul
ture. These people migrated to India
through the passes of the mountains
in the northwest, about 2000 B. C.
Where these people came from, is a
matter of dispute. Some historians
hold that they came from the Artie
circle, others that their original home
3 In Central Aisa, while some maln
aln that they mirgated from the cen
tral part of Europe. These people
first occupied the Punjab, the terri
ory around the Indus river. From
here, the Indo-Aryans marched south
o the region of the Ganges river.
It was during this conquest, fo In
Ua. that the caste system developed.
"r. Joshi explained that this system
was based on a peculiar philosophy
hat held that certain classes were
created by providence to perform
certain social functions. Indlvidulas
were born inCV these classes and
ould not hope to move into a higher
social class, although otherwise the
actions of the individual's freedom
was not interfered with.
rr. Joshi then explained the three
highest castes. The Bramhlns made
up the highest caste. They were the
priests and wise men of India. The
second caste was made up of the men
who had charge of the military organ
ization of the country, and it was from
this class that the rulers of India
were usually chosen. The third caste
was composed o fthe producers of

Piet Roest, the Dutch representative
of the group of foreign students, spoke
at Vespers Tuesday on the manifesta
tions of the various youth movements
in Ills country. Mr. Roest is a member
of the Practical Idealist Association.
The central thought of this society is
that society can only be Improved
when men improve in a conscious and
definite way.
The movement has manifested it
self In two Important groups, the first
is intimately connected with the Y. M
C. A. of America. The other is the
Liberal Christian Movement, and they
are not theologlsts, they do not con
cern themselves with the history of
the Bible, but they do appeal to the
intellectual and Intuitive side of life
without being associated with any par
ticular dogma. These two groups do
not oppose each other, rather thy
overlap end Include much of the same
ideals.
The great change in beliefs of the
young people of Holland, came in dur
ing the years 1900 and 1912. Keen in
terest is now taken in the social af
fairs of the Individuals in a community
and his responsibility to all other
memberso f the society. They believe
that as Christians they have a def
inite mission which they should ae-
cept.
In explanation of the first move
ment, Mr. Roest stated that its origlm
was spontaneous; various conferences
were held where everyone discussed
the unrest and conflict that was so
prevalent In that country and so evi
dent to everyone who gave the matter
thought. Ti:ese conferences seldom
ended in any definite and common con
clusion as to the solution, but they
showed that life of the world, waa
changing, and that a new era was
about to break in. The movement is
idealistic in that it tries to expresB
itself in the lives of people. The
church is the only organized repre
sentative of Christianity, and churches
make what is called a Christian na
tion, but these nations have not lived
up to the teachings of Christ.
Mr. Roest is of the opinion that,
heretofore, nationalism has been ex
pressed in negatives, and that the new
idea of nationalism embraces the fact
that every nation has its own taekfl
to perform, that no nation should forge
ahead In sheer competition, but that
each one must do his best and that
the human world Is a family of Ba
ttens, In which the interest of eie
nation cannot be disregarded.
Mr. Roest made it very plain that
the purpose of this tour of America
was not to spread propaganda, that it
was farthest from their minds to
start such a movement in America for
the reason that conditions are bo vast
ly different that it would be almost
impossible, but rather their obpect
was to make fliis tour a pilgrimage of
friendship, to give American students
some first hand information about the
almost hopeless economic and politi
cal conditions in Central Europe. He
stated that the great majority of stu
dents associated with the youth move
ment in Holland were not socialists,
because they do not approve of the
strong class consciousness and class
war which socialists advocate; rather
this class consciousness is something;
that is entirely lost in the associations
